Friedrich Friedrich Jr. was once one of the World's most respected ecologists, and had traveled the world in pursuit of knowledge. He was admired by his peers, but a surprising discovery in the Nepalese mountains turned them against him, as he had discovered the remains of the Cockroach Kingdom, an ancient civilization of intelligent 6 legged creatures that held the secrets of the universe. Jealousy turned to bloodlust, and Friedrich was hunted by the men he once called friends, and was forced to take shelter in the Cockroach Kingdom. He spent years in hiding, with only the mummified carcasses of the giant insects to keep him alive. When he emerged from hiding, he had transformed into a ghastly half man, half roach hybrid. With is newly found abilities to control cockroaches through telepathy, and his near indestructability, he has truly earned his new title: "Terry Vegetables"
